Hi, happy to help! For a 110V / 20‑amp sauna circuit run 100 ft underground, you’ll want to use 12/2 UF‑B copper (direct‑bury rated) or THHN in PVC conduit, not NM‑B (Romex), which is indoor‑only and cannot be used underground. If we can help in any other way, please reach out to us at consumersupport@southwire.com.
